the humorous work is produced by histórian lilia and cartoonist spacca, uniting diligent research with the vibrant visuals and language of comics - the drawings and text cover joăo's multifarious activities, his reproduction of portuguese architecture, the creation of institutions and schools and the foundation of newspapers and the banco do brasil (bank of brazil).
they show the formation of his palatial home in the district of quinta da boa vista, and the pleasure he gained from his new tropical dwelling - the work also contains a timeline to help understand the chronology of events and preliminary sketches of characters, events and clothing.
d. joăo carioca - a corte portuguesa no brasil (1808-21) is available in major bookstores, or on line on this link via livraria saraiva.
